add several large bottles of NOS to the 80 between the frame rails and the rockers

From a convenience standpoint, having to craw underneath your truck each time the NOS bottle runs empty would quickly get old. Another problem, if you ran anything over the standard 60 CF bottle, (60 CF bottle is the standard sized NOS bottle that comes in most NOS kits that you buy) say like a 150 CF bottle, because of that bottles larger size (7 inch's in Dia. and 47 inch's long), and weight (61 pounds empty weight), it would become a 2 man job every time you needed to change that bottle.

If you ran nitrous you have to spray it on full throttle. You can't just run a shot at 1/4 throttle at 1500 rpm for a few minutes. So going up hill you would have to floor it to get it up to speed then maintain that speed as best you can and then floor it again once you lose speed. Plus you would have to tune the truck for nitrous and retard the timing so you didn't pre detonate while you are spraying, so you would be losing power on motor just to have a little extra at wot. I don't think you know how nitrous works.

Well the solution is obvious, simply run a WOT all the time. Be like high school all over again.

Why not BOTH?

I like the helium headliner! Will lower the COG.

If you used enough helium, I'm pretty sure it would work in a similar manner to keel ballast in a sailboat and would right your rig if you tipped over on the trail.

I would also be interested in a NOS injection system for the HVAC. Wheeling would be a lot more fun with helicopters flying around in my brain.

Total neophyte here, please be gentle:
This thread has peaked my interest in NOS in general and from I've been reading, rpms over 3K and under red line its OK to activate the NOS.
Which makes sense to me, that's were the torque curve really starts to come on strong. If you only activate it at WOT you might be at redline already, that wouldn't be very helpful.

If u want cheap power u can easily adapt a m90 supercharger from a GM v6 engine to a 1fz. Would just require some simple fab work. Its the same compressor trd used for their supercharger kit. Just pull it off for smog. Could probably have it done for less than 800 bucks if u do the fab work yourself.

Make your own TRD Supercharger kit. Your own adapters, mounting brackets, charge tubing, etc.

The gm 3.8 motors had a m90 supercharger. M90 is also what trd used. The 3.8 supercharger can usually be found for around 100 to 200 dollars used on craigslist. Then u just fab your own mounting bracket and charge pipe. People do it on 4.0 jeeps quite a lot.

Low effort question. TRD supercharger no longer available, any idea if the backets et al are too?
